So what makes one so “inappropriate” and the other okay. It comes down to one’s particular bias. Last night my Uncle and I were watching “Blades of Glory” with his soon to be seven-year-old daughter. There was definitely some sex jokes there, but she wasn’t getting most of them, and I couldn’t see the harm. Her mom lets her watch horror movies and Family Guy (a show that makes some of the raunchiest references around), so I thought she’d be cool about it. But the sexual references made her very uncomfortable and she ended up insisting we turn the movie off and watching Zack & Cody, and Hannah Montana instead. Such is life.
